Because obviously she fancies herself some sort of photographer or something.  AS IF.  Still, I make no secret that I enjoy taking pictures and my favorite subjects are my little rugrats.  And someday, someday, I will have a “real” camera with which to take pictures.  When that day comes, we shall all be in great trouble.  Because there will be pictures like no body’s business.  But until that day (which, frankly, may or may not exist), you’ll all have to put up with her lousy point-and-shoot pictures that she fuxes with in Photoshop until they look “quasi-fancy”.  That’s my word for it and I’m sticking to it.

So I treat you all, this fine Friday (while I’m trying to ignore my annoyingly runny nose, scratchy throat, pounding head and general state of craptasticness), to a sort of “day in the life” photo blog.  Because I like these pictures, that’s why.

This here is Pup/Poptart/Holly and she’s chewing on a paper towel.  This is the look she gave me when I threatened to eat her if she didn’t knock it off.  I get no respect.

This is “Happy” Liam after he was not-so-happy and I cheered him up on my lap…

And now he’s not-so-happy again.  Welcome to Toddlerhood!  Have you seen my sanity?

It was short-lived, the not-so-happiness because he soon saw “Wow Wow Wubsy” was on Noggin. He loves that stupid show.

Meanwhile, Evie watches from her bouncer seat.  Approximately two seconds after I took this, she insisted I feed her and hold her and generally attach her somehow to my person.

When Harry got home from work school (duh) he said (and I quote), “Hi, I don’t have any homework today can I play Wii?”  Care to take a breath first?  Here he is, honing his golfing skillz.

Liam gets a kick out of watching Harry play the Wii.  As long as he doesn’t stand in front of the TV, no one gets hurt.

You know what this means, right? It’s De-Lurking Day and that means it’s time to step out from behind that potted plant over there (yes, I SEE YOU) and leave a comment. That goes double for me. I’ve always been a poor commenter. I’m infamous for reading a blog for months on end and never commenting and then I wonder why the author doesn’t know who the heck I am. Uhm, hello? It’s become worse since Google Reader entered my life. Now it’s even EASIER to not comment on my favorite blogs!

But today, I’m going to change all that. I’m going to go out there and comment and fill the blog world with my grains of wisdom, pith and support. And I’d like to encourage all of you (all five of you) to do the same. Not just here (though some comments here would be LOVELY because each and every one of them totally makes my day. SERIOUSLY), but everywhere you read. Spread the love! Share yourself! Let the comment love begin!

Zoot had a great idea over on her blog, giving her faithful commenters something to comment about (it’s helpful, no?). So I’ve been trying to wrack my brain, to think of a good conversation starter. It’s not as easy as it sounds. So here goes: Do you think it’s strange in the slightest that I had a dream about “The Office” last night? And not like I was IN “The Office”, but more like I was just watching it. And it was all about Pam and Jim getting it on. Does this mean I’m watching too much television? Or can I blame it on the pregnancy hormones?

Also (before I go off and comment myself into a stupor): I downgraded my blog to WordPress version 2.2.3 for now. It fixes the errors that were popping up everywhere and making me angry. However, my categories seem to have disappeared. Oh well, I guess I can’t have everything. But hopefully you would-be commenters won’t get any errors and that’s the important thing.
